On this exciting journey through Himeji Castle, we will explore every detail of the unique architecture of this magnificent Japanese castle. As we walk through the interior, you will see up close the walls coated with a layer of white plaster, a traditional wall finishing technique in Japan that is a distinctive feature of Edo period architecture. In addition, you can see the different rooms of the castle, including reception rooms, bedrooms, warehouses, etc all designed to serve different functions. It's fascinating to see how the decoration is a combination of traditional Japanese styles and Western influences. However, to preserve the original wooden floors and protect the castle from damage, it is necessary to remove your shoes before entering.
To reach the outside area of the castle, you need to climb several steep staircases, which lead to different levels of the castle. In total, you will have to climb 398 steps to reach the top of the main tower, but the spectacular view from the top is definitely worth the effort! Himeji Castle is one of the few Japanese castles that survived the modern era, having escaped significant damage during World War II, and is considered one of Japan's national treasures. Come with us and uncover the secrets of this magnificent castle and the fascinating history it carries!
